Harvard Sets the...Defeating Cincinnati was more than just an upset for Harvard. It made the underdog the first Ivy League school to win back-to-back tournament games since Princeton in 1984. The 12th-seeded squad controlled the tempo against the Bearcats all night. Siyani Chambers’ 11 points in the final two minutes put the finishing touches on the trip to the Sweet 16.

St. Joe's (10) F...UConn’s Kevin Ollie made his March Madness debut as a head coach in dramatic fashion. St. Joe’s had a legitimate shot, but foul trouble would be an obstacle it just couldn’t overcome. Shabazz Napier of the Huskies scored 19 points in the second half and overtime combined to lead his squad to victory. (Jared Wickerham/Getty Images)

Stephen F. Austi...VCU held a 65-59 lead with just 56 second remaining in regulation. Stephen F. Austin, which hadn’t lost a game since November 23rd, was poised for a March Madness miracle. With a little help by way of VCU’s four missed free throws down the stretch, the underdogs willed themselves to an overtime win. (AP Photo/Denis Poroy)

Bryce Cotton Sco...There’s no bigger stage in college basketball than the NCAA tournament. Bryce Cotton of Providence took full advantage of the opportunity. Shooting 13-23 from the field, the senior guard scored 36 points against North Carolina. Despite Providence losing the game, Cotton sure did end his collegiate career with a bang.

$1 Billion Brack...Warren Buffet offered $1 billion to anyone with a perfect bracket once the dust cleared. Lucky for him, all of the estimated 15 million participants were eliminated after the second day of the tournament. (AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais)

Stanford (10) De...The round of 32 would be the end of the road for Kansas. The Cardinal edged the Jayhawks by three points to advance to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2008. (AP Photo/Charlie Riedel)

Dayton (11) Drop...Syracuse was in the best possible situation against Dayton. It had the ball in the hands of freshman Tyler Ennis with the clock winding down to the last possession – the same Ennis who hit a 40-foot buzzer-beater to sink Pittsburgh a month before. The outcome would not be as favorable this time, as the shot missed and the Flyers advanced to the Sweet 16. (AP Photo/Bill Wippert)

Iowa St. (3) Bea...Iowa State had to get the job done without two of its biggest players due to injury. History wasn’t on the side of the Cyclones either, as they hadn’t advanced to the Sweet 16 since 2000. North Carolina played well, shooting 40 percent from the three-point line. In the end, the Tar Heels fell just short. (AP Photo/David J. Phillip)

Creighton’s Fath...Creighton’s loss in the Regional round was tough for Greg McDermott, not only as a coach, but as a father. The team's star and the NCAA’s fifth all-time leading scorer was his son, Doug McDermott. The loss came on the heels of Doug scoring 30 points and adding 12 rebounds in a second-round victory against Louisiana-Lafayette. (AP Photo/Charlie Neibergall)

Tennessee’s Run ...The Vols made it to the Sweet 16 the hard way, having won the play-in game to enter the field of 64. The Elite 8 was in arm's reach as Tennessee trailed Michigan by one with just 10 seconds to play. Jarnell Stokes pounded the ball in the paint with a chance to be the hero. The referee called a controversial offensive foul that would end Tennessee’s Cinderella season. (AP Photo/Gerry Broome)

Streaks End: Lou...Louisville had won 68 straight games in which they had the halftime lead, and Rick Pitino was undefeated in the Sweet 16. Both streaks came to an end in a Midwest Regional semifinal loss to Kentucky. (David E. Klutho /Getty Images)

UConn (7) Wins o...Every senior recruited by Michigan State coach Tom Izzo had played in a Final Four. That streak was snapped at the hands of the Huskies. UConn was ineligible for the tournament last season, but made up for its absence under second-year coach Kevin Ollie. It was also during this game that guard Shabazz Napier passed Ray Allen for fourth in all-time UConn scoring with 1,925 points. (AP Photo/Seth Wenig)

Wichita State's ...This Elite 8 matchup was a back-and-forth battle until the final buzzer. Wichita State led by as many as nine points in the second half, but the resilient freshmen of Kentucky stood strong. A total of 19 free throws down the stretch proved clutch for the Wildcats as they ended No. 1 seed Wichita State’s season-long winning streak at 35 games. (AP Photo/Charlie Riedel)

Critical Call in...No. 1 Arizona and No. 2 Wisconsin met in the Elite 8 for what would turn out to be the seventh overtime game of this year's tournament. Both squads traded threes to start OT. With things still knotted up in the waning seconds of the extra period, a scramble for possession took place with two seconds left on the clock. The Badgers, ahead by one, were initially awarded the ball. After several minutes of replay review by the officials, the call was overturned and Arizona was awarded one last chance at victory. As the old saying goes, “Ball don’t lie.” Nick Johnson couldn’t nail one last shot for the Wildcats, and Wisconsin advanced to the Final Four. (AP Photo/Alex Gallardo)

UConn (7) Knocks...The No. 1 overall seed finally came crashing down at the hands of the Huskies. The loss ended a 30-game winning streak for the Gators. Shabazz Napier played well, but the surprising hero for UConn was DeAndre Daniels, who scored 20 points and added 10 rebounds. (AP Photo/David J. Phillip)

Kentucky (8) Sho...Coach John Calipari did it again. His latest group of freshmen began to click at just the right time. A huge last-second shot from Aaron Harrison put Kentucky on top for good, putting them in the National Championship Game against UConn. (AP Photo/David J. Phillip)

Celebration Gone...Kentucky had every reason to be excited. It was returning to the NCAA Championship for the second time in three seasons. The celebration may have been a bit too much, however, as forward Alex Poythress injured his leg after being caught under the team’s dogpile. (AP Photo/Eric Gay)

ChampionsNo lead was safe in the National Championship. Kentucky overcame a 16-point deficit in the first half and remained close. In the end, UConn remained tough, becoming the first 7 seed to win a National Championship. (Jamie Squire/Getty Images)
